President Donald Trump delivered a masterclass in media accountability during a joint press conference with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, utterly dismantling CNN’s Kaitlin Collins for her relentless, agenda-driven questioning. The liberal media hack, known for her hostility toward Trump’s America First policies, was exposed yet again as she tried to spin the deportation of a violent MS-13 gang member into a sympathetic story—only to be humiliated by Trump, Bukele, and top administration officials.
Trump, never one to suffer fools gladly, called out Collins’ biased antics with trademark bluntness: “How long do we have to answer this question from you? Why don’t you just say ‘Isn’t it wonderful that we’re keeping criminals out of our country?’ Why can’t you say that? Why do you go over and over? And that’s why nobody watches you anymore. You know, you have no credibility.” When she attempted to interrupt yet again later in the presser, Trump shut her down with a dismissive “Not you.”
Collins’ desperate attempt to frame Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a confirmed MS-13 member and human trafficker—as some kind of victim was met with a brutal reality check from Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Bondi laid out the facts in no uncertain terms: “First and foremost, he was illegally in our country… two courts ruled that he was a member of MS-13.” Miller, never one to mince words, blasted the media’s arrogance: “It’s very arrogant even for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens.”
President Bukele, whose iron-fisted crackdown on gangs turned El Salvador from the world’s murder capital into one of its safest nations, was equally merciless. When Collins insinuated he should release the criminal, Bukele fired back: “Of course, you’re not suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States, right? How can I return him to the United States? Of course, I’m not going to do it. The question is preposterous.” He later added, “We just turned the murder capital of the world to the safest country in the western hemisphere, and you want us to go back to releasing criminals?”

Rubio hammered home the constitutional reality: “The foreign policy of the United States is conducted by the President of the United States, not the court.” The Supreme Court’s 9-0 ruling against judicial overreach was a resounding victory for Trump’s administration, reaffirming that activist judges can’t dictate foreign policy—no matter how much the leftist media whines.
The entire exchange was yet another example of the liberal media’s obsession with defending violent criminals while attacking the Trump administration’s efforts to keep Americans safe.
And the 2 senators from MD are flying down there on the taxpayer’s money to so they can virtue signal.
